Great class with Todd. I picked up several technical details that were excellent additions. We worked Standing RNC defense, mount escape, armbar. then the last 10 minutes of class we worked those in a series like this.

Worked on armbar and stack escape. Some really good technical points. Opposite shoulder pressing down as hard as possible, small incremental removal of trapped arm, same side leg right in the crack of your opponents ass, look up and follow your head around to side control. Finished class with 15 minutes of transitional work.

guy 1) attacks guy 2 in his guard with armbar
guy 2) escapes with stack and escape to side control
guy 2) once solid in side control go to low KOB
guy 2) moves from KOB to mount
guy 2) goes for collar choke
guy 1) defends collar choke and escapes mount with bridge
guy 2) now with guy 1 in guard immediately attacks armbar

I am loving how Todd is putting together these transitional drills. They are solid for the both the new guys and people with more experience.

Seriously who doesn't need more armbar and escape practice!

14:43 as RX'ed. Quite possibly the most evil way you could have put those elements together. The last 21 Burpees seemed to go on forever! Best quote of the day came from my friend Andy who said "if I could have been able to breathe I would have puked, its hard to puke when you can't breathe". After we recovered for a few minutes we loaded all the weights into Leo's new truck and a couple of other vehicles and headed down the road to the new facility.

Video to come later today.

A little video from yesterday, highlights are Laney setting a new world record for p/u's, me doing TGU's with her as weight then some video shot by Delaney from the workout. Monique shot a lot more video so there will be a less hurkey jerky video up over their site!

I was absolutely smoked this morning from yesterdays workout. I was not explosive at all. Still felt pretty good to be moving. Met-Con was great. I am really enjoying the sledge and hammer work, I think it is doing lots of good stuff for my shoulders.

405 was tough from mid shin. Felt good and I am getting it closer to the floor. I am going to need to do some research and figure out an actual plan for my DL'ing goals. I am kind of just moving forward linearly from the ground and lowering the rack pulls to get to 405. Probably a better way to attack it.
